Blessed is the man
Who walks not in the counsel
of the ungodly,
Nor sits in the seat of the scornful;
But his delight is in the law of the Lord,
And in His law he meditates day and
night.
He shall be like a tree
Planted by the rivers of water,
That brings forth its fruit in its season,
Whose leaf also shall not wither;
And whatever he does shall prosper.

The ungodly are not so,
But are like the chaff which the wind drives
away.
Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the
judgement.
Nor sinners in the congregation of the
righteous.
For the Lord knows the way of the
righteous,
But the way of the ungodly shall perish.

New King James Version

Prayer of Saint Francis of Assisi

Lord, make me an instrument of your peace.
Where there is hatred, let me sow love;
where there is injury, pardon;
where there is doubt, faith;
where there is despair, hope;
where there is darkness, light;
and where there is sadness, joy.

O Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek
to be consoled as to console;
to be understood as to understand;
to be loved as to love.
For it is in giving that we receive;
it is in pardoning that we are pardoned;
and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life. Amen

Chicago's killing count is near 500 this year, it will go over the mark this weekend.

Bet on it.

People want to protect themselves, so the tax makes it harder for them.

You will find that arrests are never made.

Gangs rule, police cannot deal with it.

An excerpt from the Fox News Report,

The new tax was sold to the public with the idea that it would offset the public cost of medical care for shooting victims.
According to Board President Toni Preckwinkle's own numbers, that cost was just shy of $35 million.
Yet the estimated revenue for the new tax will be roughly $600,000.

So it cannot be about funding medical seriously, it is about gun control, the Obama agenda.

California, a nice climate and unsurpassed scenery; but has unsurpassed taxes, unreasonable environmental laws, out of control immigration and public and private unions.

Only the rich can leave or those that are not rich, but out of a job.

The rich can pack up and leave in an hour.

We that have a mortgage, love our home, city, friends, church, won't leave.

We will pay a high price to stay.

An excerpt from the editorial;

The Tax Foundation ranks California behind only New York and New
Jersey as the worst state in its 2013 Business Tax Climate Index. It is
the fourth worst state in which to make a living, according to Money
Rates; has the fourth highest income tax burden, says the Tax
Foundation; and has the third highest jobless rate.
As if the tax millstone weren't already heavy enough, the voters
decided in November to approve Proposition 30, which increases the state
sales and income taxes.

Will they have to have police protection for them and their family from the labor thugs?

A historical moment due to this state being well known as a labor union stronghold.

Will others follow?

Sure hope so.

Would never happen in my California, sorry to say.

Freedom to choose your work place without joining any organization, that's the American way.

Make the right to choose a national agenda starting in the U.S.House Chamber.

Government unions removed all competion in work rules, wages, pensions, whereas at least in private unions you at least had to bargain with a employer while the competion kept on working and producing. This weakens the strikers.

With more taxes and regulations forthcoming, why put up with it? Close the shop.

An excerpt from the news report,

Last month, 21% of small business owners said they expected to lower
head count over the next six months — the highest percentage recorded by
the Wells Fargo/Gallup Small Business Index since its launch in 2003.
In July, the last time the data was compiled, just 10% of bosses said
they planned to shrink employee ranks.

Hope and Change. There is no hope: change is what we have already have had for 4 years.
